The last
of the idols had been destroyed and as the Prophet came out of Kaabah,
there was huge mob of people waiting for him. All of these were faces
who had opposed Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) for the last 2 decades;
Persecuted his followers and drove him out of his own home town. And
today all of them were at his mercy. All of them knew, on a single
command, the conquerors of Makkah will behead them. Holding their
breaths, they waited there fate. To everyone's astonishment, they were
all forgiven. This was the greatness of Muhammad bin Abdullah. In the
last 1500 years, the world has never witnessed such an act of compassion
and mercy.

But today once again, hearts of billions of people is
broken, as the Jewish Funded Anti Islam/Muhammad(PBUH) movie is aired on
websites. Though this act makes no difference to the stature of such a
personality, but I feel an urge to bring into light the names of few
non-muslim influential people from all around globe and what they
thought about Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) and his message.

Annie Besant, The Life and Teachings of Muhammad, Madras 1932, p. 4:

"It
is impossible for anyone who studies the life and character of the
great Prophet of Arabia, who knows how he taught and how he lived, to
feel anything but reverence for that mighty Prophet, one of the great
messengers of the Supreme. And although in what I put to you I shall say
many things which may be familiar to many, yet I myself feel whenever I
re-read them, a new way of admiration, a new sense of reverence for
that mighty Arabian teacher."

Michael H.
Hart, The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History, New
York: Hart Publishing Company, Inc. 1978, p. 33:

"My
choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential
persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but
he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the
religious and secular level."

“It
was the first religion that preached and practiced democracy; for, in
the mosque, when the call for prayer is sounded and worshippers are
gathered together, the democracy of Islam is embodied five times a day
when the peasant and king kneel side by side and proclaim: 'God Alone is
Great'...“

George Bernard Shaw - The Genuine Islam Vol.No.8, 1936.

“I
believe if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern
world he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would
bring much needed peace and happiness.
I have studied him - the man and in my opinion is far from being an anti–Christ. He must be called the Savior of Humanity.
I have prophesied about the faith of Mohammad that it would be
acceptable the Europe of tomorrow as it is beginning to be acceptable to
the Europe of today.”

"It
is not the propagation but the permanency of his religion that deserves
our wonder, the same pure and perfect impression which he engraved at
Mecca and Medina is preserved, after the revolutions of twelve centuries
by the Indian, the African and the Turkish proselytes of the
Koran...The Mahometans have uniformly withstood the temptation of
reducing the object of their faith and devotion to a level with the
senses and imagination of man. 'I believe in One God and Mahomet the
Apostle of God', is the simple and invariable profession of Islam. The
intellectual image of the Deity has never been degraded by any visible
idol; the honors of the prophet have never transgressed the measure of
human virtue, and his living precepts have restrained the gratitude of
his disciples within the bounds of reason and religion."

Lamartine - Histoire de la Turquie, Paris 1854, Vol II, pp. 276-77:

"If
greatness of purpose, smallness of means, and astounding results are
the three criteria of human genius, who could dare to compare any great
man in modern history with Muhammad? The most famous men created arms,
laws and empires only. They founded, if anything at all, no more than
material powers which often crumbled away before their eyes. This man
moved not only armies, legislations, empires, peoples and dynasties, but
millions of men in one-third of the then inhabited world; and more than
that, he moved the altars, the gods, the religions, the ideas, the
beliefs and souls... the forbearance in victory, his ambition, which was
entirely devoted to one idea and in no manner striving for an empire;
his endless prayers, his mystic conversations with God, his death and
his triumph after death; all these attest not to an imposture but to a
firm conviction which gave him the power to restore a dogma. This dogma
was twofold, the unit of God and the immateriality of God; the former
telling what God is, the latter telling what God is not; the one
overthrowing false gods with the sword, the other starting an idea with
words.
"Philosopher, orator, apostle, legislator, warrior,
conqueror of ideas, restorer of rational dogmas, of a cult without
images; the founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual
empire, that is Muhammad. As regards all standards by which human
greatness may be measured, we may well ask, is there any man greater
than he?"

M.K.Gandhi, YOUNG INDIA, 1924

"...I
became more than ever convinced that it was not the sword that won a
place for Islam in those days in the scheme of life. It was the rigid
simplicity, the utter self-effacement of the prophet, the scrupulous
regard for his pledges, his intense devotion to his friends and
followers, his intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust in God
and his own mission. These, and not the sword carried everything before
them and surmounted every trouble." YOUNG INDIA, 1924.

Now it's a
simple Question to all those in support of the Offensive movie ? What do
they Actually Believe in ? It mere common sense to decide what is right
? Decide who actually they are going to be following. For, we Muslims,
learn Peace from our religion ,and it's Always Peace we are going to be
looking for.
